Product Details

Summary

Topeka bred MC Stik Figa first gained his shine as a local celebrity in Kansas, gaining praise from Miles Bonny among others. Then DC producer Oddisee teamed up with Stik for the "From The Top" Ep and things started to roll. As Himself is Stik Figa at his natural relaxed best: light hearted and intelligent, with a mesmerizing flow. Produced entirely by Micheal "Seven" Summers (frequent Tech N9ne, Mac Lethal collaborator) using contemporary arrangements drenched in soul & funk, backed by trunk rattling 808's. Stik delivers subtle bluecollar lyricism with a southern aestheic. Originallya local only release, As Himself was picked up for international release by Mello Music Group.

Comment: I don't listen to this type of Hip Hop but I was surprised by this. It looked like it was going to be a lil wayne type album so I was prepared to diss it but this guy makes lil wayne look like the clown he really is. I would rather this dude be played 100 times a day than the stuff thats on the radio now. Like I said, I am more into New York Real Hip Hop but this dude did his thing.

Comment: This is a new sound for me, especially since I normally stick to boom-bap, but lyrical content got me after paid attention. Even the hooks had me thinking it was all feel good up beat material, but there were some heavy gems scattered all over these tracks. A new believer over here.

Comment: Where my rating go? I wrote my whole thing up here and it vanished. Long story short - Stik Figa got love in Kansas, don't hate OMG. Support what you feel. I don't rate Stik 5 stars cause it's the best album since Biggie, I rate it 5 stars cause I like the damn thing and Stik good people - been holding Kansas down a minute. As for the cover - man clothes and a house don't make a man - his thoughts, friends, and timing do. You're the fake judging people based on a quick look you racist.

Comment: Been playin this record for a while - the beats are pretty fuckin great and Stik is one of the best in Kansas - ask anyone here - we rep him anyday. As for OMG, dude, is Stik not supposed to have his fans come here and rate his album after they buy it? You're a douche. 5 stars isn't our official NYTimes rating - it's us supporting our boy who we've seen making records here for years and now he got a deal with one of the best labels. Listen to his record, or don't, but get the fuck outta here with your hate for what's a great record. 3 stars, 4 stars, 5 stars, who cares? It's good Hip-Hop. And as for the cover, you think if they had put him in a suit and tie it would advance Black people? Dumb ass fool. Listen to his content and maybe you'll hear something. The only thing that advances people is thought, support, and timing - clothes, photos, and image don't mean shit except to the fake.
